Quote of the Month QBR CAMPER PRO-FILE My Son Always Knew He Could Be A QB! "Although the 2008 season is long over, it will forever be remembered as one of Mojave High School’s best ever. My son went to your California camp two years in a row and came away with so much confidence and knowledge. I wish we had known about the camp before he started high school. During Doug's freshman year he happened to have a coach who didn’t care about the players and was put in the line, at 95 pounds. It was inevitable that my son would get injured
as he had never played any type of football before high school,
and he did. This coach told my son that he put him in the line because he didn’t believe Doug could ever be a quarterback. Well, the following year Doug attended your camp and was determined to become the best quarterback he could possibly be. He ended up as the starter his sophomore year and did a wonderful job. Doug attended your camp again the following year and was the back-up quarterback his junior year. He didn’t play much because the starting QB was an excellent player who had also attended your camp, Michael Carder. They made it to the CIF play-offs that year and when my son was put in near the 4th quarter, he actually scored a touchdown as a quarterback, against the #1 seeded team. They lost and ended the season, but it was still fun going to the play-offs. This past season, Doug’s senior year,
his team was a free-lance team and no one thought they would
go anywhere. At 5-5, they were picked as a wild card for the
CIF With Doug’s leadership and some outstanding plays from the rest of the team, MHS won the game and advanced to the quarter-finals! They continued to advance all the way to the semi-finals where they were defeated by Riverside Christian. Armed with the expert training my son received at your camp, he went on to break a 15 year old passing record for his high school, threw only 4 interceptions in 13 games and was named “Most Outstanding Offensive Player” for the season. Thank you so much for all the skills you teach these kids and all the confidence you help them develop. My son always knew he could be a quarterback and with your camp his beliefs were reinforced." --Shirlee Wilson, Mojave, CA QBR CAMP NETWORK Texas High School Coaching Position Available!

Doug broke both bones in his left forearm completely
in half and ended up having two surgeries. One put in two plates
and 11 screws in his arm; the other was to replace one of the plates
that broke 30 days later.
